Testing Week

Dear Readers,

This week has been filled with many a test for me here at BYU. On Tuesday, I took a Physical Science test that wasn't that bad, to be quite honest. There were thirty multiple choice questions followed by an essay that was really just a short answer. As of now, I have a 93% because of the multiple choice. We'll find out what my essay score is later. Hopefully it will raise it overall to a 94%.

Yesterday I took the Aural Skills exam. What is that, you say? Well, my friends, it is the exam equivalent to the AP Music Theory Examination. The difference is about $80 and 2 hours. Haha, I went and paid $5 and spent half and hour listening to a tape that was quizzing me and guess what?!...I PASSED! Now, I can audition for the College of Fine Arts and hopefully start participating in various music groups around BYU. Yeah, yesterday was a pretty good day(not quite as good as monday).

Today I am taking another music exam, but this time for my Music 101 class. I don't think it will be too hard, but we'll see. It's all about the first 8 chapters or so of our book.

Wish me luck with that test and good luck to all those BYU students taking exams in the very cool testing center at the Grant Building. I rather enjoy testing there. :)

Dear Readers, Ok, so I can't fit the entire title into the title box. It's a good song, go look it up: "You make me smile." The title can apply to anyone, I've found. The rest of the lyrics would probably refer to a best friend or a significant other, but anyone can make you smile. They all have the own way of doing it. Some are just funny all the time and you can't help smiling when you're around that person. I know some who take care of people so well that you just smile when they're doing something for another. Others you can talk to about your problems and no matter what they say, it seems to make sense and you feel better...thus a smile. Ok, a smile doesn't always come in that case, but people usually smile after that. Anyone can have a blonde moment and make everyone smile because of it. I'm glad I've got friends who can do all of these: have blonde moments, take care of others or have an episode of hyperactivity that you can't he...

Am I Proud to Be an American?

This weekend is the 4th of July, or Independence Day in the United States of America. One of my favorite songs during this time of celebrating the country is "God Bless the USA." The words paint a detailed picture of the beauty of the United States, both in a physical and emotional aspect. Our country is often depicted in a majestic manner such as this, making it seem like the greatest in the world and we often hear those bold words, "I'm proud to be an American."  With all of the issues that have been cropping up over the past couple of years such as impeachment, systemic racism, foreign intervention, and most significantly the COVID-19 pandemic, I have reflected deeply about what we celebrate with the 4th of July. These issues are just a few of the many that have made me wonder about the country we praise so proudly.  Am I really proud to be an American?  Thomas Jefferson wrote the candid words of the Declaration of Independence, which were th...

I Don't Wanna Be Anything Other Than Me

Dear Reader,  I work online at one of my part-time jobs. Sometimes it is required of me to look up a person's credentials or accomplishments to better fill out a description of their time on the radio. This means I do Google searches quite frequently to find their websites, their social media profiles, etc. By no means am I a guru on the world wide web, but I have been around the internet a few times. Why does any of this matter to you, reader? It matters because I have found a few things that are essential to being safe online. As much as anyone hates to admit, the persona built on the web greatly affects the actual person outside of technology. It matters because we need to review the tips on how to remain safe online regularly.  Here is a quick example of how important it is to monitor what you put online. If you put "Dale Lundstrom" into a Google search, there are 743 results as of today. A good number of those have nothing to do with me, it's true. Howe...
